Residents from the Alta Monte neighborhood, off Carlisle, said they're tired of the dozens of rogue carts that litter their neighborhood. They say most, if not all of the carts, come from the nearby Walmart.

Driving through the neighborhood, one can find anywhere from 30 to 40 carts in the middle of streets, on sidewalks and in culverts causing a hazard.

Blas Urquidez, the neighborhood association's president, told Action 7 News he has done everything possible to fix the problem but that Walmart managers have not been very cooperative.

"I've been dealing with this issue for years," he said.

Urquidez said on multiple occasions, the collection of carts has gotten so out of hand that he has gone around and cleaned them up himself. He has pictures of him pushing 40 carts in a row, putting them in his truck and taking them to Walmart.

When Action 7 News asked if Walmart even had a policy to deal with the issue, Walmart's manager and corporate communications department said they are doing the best they can. They have a contract with their landscape and maintenance crew to pick up the carts every Tuesday.

"They haven't been doing it," said Urquidez.

According to the residents, Walmart isn't sticking to the schedule. They have gone weeks, sometimes months, without coming to get the carts from the neighborhood. In fact, when Urquidez spoke to the manager on one occasion, he said the manager accused "his people" of stealing them.

Walmart said it is difficult to stay conscious of their property because a lot of the carts are stolen from the parking lot and they have no way to keep track of it. Yet, Urquidez and nearby residents said all they want is for Walmart to stick to the schedule.

Walmart wouldn't go on camera with Action 7 News but said over the phone it will take teamwork to get this problem solved. They suggest if and when residents see any carts, to give the store a call so they can come and get them. Shopping carts cost upward of $500.

Residents said they have asked the county and the city for help. In the future, they expect Walmart and officials to be more aggressive about beautifying the city and keeping their neighborhoods clear of carts.
